Given an equal volume of each, Mercury has by far the greater mass (weight) because its density is approximately 13.6gm/cc whereas water has a density of 1gm/cc; So the mercury is 13.6 times as heavy as water is.

Gold is more dense than water, meaning that any volume of gold has more mass than an equal volume of water has.

A liter of mercury has a larger mass as its density its much higher than water

This is a trick question. They both are one liter, the SI unit for volume. Is the question supposed to be which has a greater density?

Is volume and mass the same thing?

No, volume and mass are related but they are not the same. As an example, 1 liter of water has a mass of 1 kg whereas 1 liter of mercury has a much higher mass. Mathematically, Mass divided by volume is equal to density. Mass has units of Kg and volume has units of m3.


What has a greater mass 1 liter of water or 1 liter of alcohol?

Water.


How many liter in a kilo?

These are different units. Liters is volume (3 dimensions) Kilo is short for kilogram which is mass. If you are measuring water (which conveniently has a density of 1.0) then 1 liter = 1 kilogram But if you have a liter of mercury then 1 liter = 13.6 kilograms


Calculate the mass in kg of 1.0 l of mercury?

Mercury has a density of 13,6 grams per cubic centimeter. One liter has 1000 cubic centimeters One kilogram has 1000 grams 13,6 * 1000 / 1000 = 13,6 kilograms per liter One liter of mercury has a mass of 13,6 kilograms


A liter of water has a mass of 1 kilogram. what is the mass of water in grams?

0.001


Which is larger one pound or one liter?

2.2 pounds only if it is one liter of fresh water (mass = 1kg). Liters are units of volume. Pounds are units of mass. You can't convert directly.


How does the mass of a dinosaur compare to the mass of 1 liter of water?

It is easiest to observe the volumes of the two and go from there. One liter of water is most easily observed by most students as exactly half of a two liter of soda. Water and soda have a similar density (mass divided by volume) so they will have a similar mass. Then compare the volume of 1 liter to the volume of a dinosaur. I believe even most baby dinosaurs were larger than a liter. Take into account that most land animals alive will have a density not too far from water (some people float and some sink). The animals that have a density that differs greatly from water will more often than not have a higher density than water and sink. So, because a dinosaur is SIGNIFICANTLY more voluminous than a liter, and we can speculate that they were at least the density of water if not more, its very safe to say that dinosaurs had many times the mass of 1 liter of water.


How much is in a kilogram at water?

What is the mass of 1 liter of water at 4C?

The density of pure water, at 4 deg C and 760 ml of mercury is 999.9720 kg/metre3 so the answer is 0.999 9720 grams or nearly 1 kilogram.


Which planet has a larger mass than earth?

All of them except Mercury, Venus, and Mars.


How much mass is a kilogram?

That completely depends on two things -- whatliquid substance you have, and how much of it you have. For example, if it's pure water and you have one liter of it, then its mass is very close to 1 kilogram. If you have only one-half liter of it, then its mass is one-half kilogram, but if you replace the water with mercury, then its mass is 6.8 kilograms. So you see, it depends on the substance, and the amount of it.
